Manchester United fans’ tweets on Paul Pogba leaving are comedy gold

Manchester United fans are rejoicing as their prodigal son, Paul Pogba, returns to the club he left four years ago. Pogba signed for United on Monday evening for a world-record £89million, having developed into one of the world’s finest footballers. Although he turned 23 in March, Pogba has won five Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia trophies and two Supercoppa Italia wins.

Jose Mourinho believes Pogba can be at the heart of Manchester United‘s midfield for the next decade, having joined Eric Bailly Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a new-look side. But it was a different story back in 2012, when the talented young Frenchman left Old Trafford for Juventus. Following a fall-out with legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, Pogba was allowed to join the Italian club for just £1.5m. And United fans weren’t best pleased with the France midfielder’s conduct.

For the record, Nick Powell joined the same summer Pogba departed. He made three senior appearances for the club before joining Wigan permanently this summer after loan spells at Wigan, Leicester and Hull City.
